[SM] - Graphic editing help

[PokeyTroid]

Hi, me again with another question.

I'm messing around with Tile Layer Pro. I've been having a go at editing the pause screen and it's been going well so far. I have a few questions though, hope you guys can help me.

Where can I find the energy tank graphic in TLP? More specifically, the pink squares in the HUD.

Where can I find the box cursor that selects upgrades in the Samus Screen? I somehow managed to fill in the space around the red lights, and it all blinks now.

How do I change/remove the grid background of the pause screen? Will this affect the minimap?

Does the pink Reserve Tank fill level share a palette with anything? i.e. do I edit that by editing something else?


I feel a little silly posting an entire new thread for little questions like this, but I understand that a general question thread would get pretty cluttered...

Anyway, thanks!

I can answer at least one of your questions..

Energy squares in the hud I believe would be around d3200 (pc address), however I suspect you would need to be in gameboy mode (not snes). just play around there to find what square
it actually is. (remember back-ups).

the box cursor?  Well my guess is that there aren't actually any gfx for that, but rather the palette (of the background) changes when selected. That's if I understood you correctly.

As for the grid background, I think you would have to go around 1b0000 (pc address) but gfx is very jumbled up there, it's like trying to put a jigsaw puzzle together, however I'm fairly certain that it would not effect the minimap as I believe the minimap and the main map/samus status screen are of seperate locations (don't quote me on that please)...Mini map I think is around the same area as the energy hud squares.

As for the reserve tank palette thing, I'm sorry but I have no idea.....

Okay, I kept at it, and I think I've fixed it.

I still don't know what I did to the blinking box cursor. I went back to a backup and redid everything, and it didn't happen this time. I suppose I must have edited it without knowing what I was doing...

I worked out how to edit the pause screen background. If you go to 1b0000, there are four squares that are used:

Top left corner and down 1, 2 right: Samus screen

Top right corner, one down: map screen

Top right corner: map that displays when loading a save


Oh, and I found the Reserve Tanks! They're in 1b0000 too, to the right of the words "Wrecked Ship."
